Underappreciated Pics That Show How Tough It Is To Be A Dad
Being a dad isn't easy. Yeah, it's fun sometimes, but there's always a learning curve. You'll have those moments of pure joy, but also situations you never imagined being in before becoming a father.
Look at these pictures and decide for yourself if it's easy being a dad or not.
Son's First Day Of School
Mom isn't the only one that has the right to become emotional. This dad couldn't take it.
It was his boy's first day of school, and he didn't know how to let go!
Daughter Challenge
When your daughter challenges you, it's kind of hard to reject it. This young lady thought her dad couldn't pull this trick off.
He did it with his friends just as well as she did it. It just looks like it hurt the men a little more.
When You Lose A Bet
When you lose a bet as a grown man, it's always honorable to keep your word.
When you lose as a father, you have to keep your promise no matter what.
"Perks" Of A Newborn
Here is a perfect photo showing a welcome-to-fatherhood moment for this new dad.
He's exhausted, and the child isn't even a year old yet! There are many more years to come, my friend.
Eat Safely With Your Child
A man has to eat, even if it means covering your child's head with one napkin to keep the crumbs from falling on him.
This man wanted his burrito, and he wasn't going to waste any time.
Not Giving Up Your Hobbies
He became a father, but he didn't want to lose sight of his other passions. He loves to ride the unicycle.
That means finding ways to incorporate your past life into your new one. Good job, Pops.
The Human Swing
Is this a candidate for the Dad of The Year award? It has to be in the running.
I can't even imagine coming up with this idea, but I know she probably wanted to swing very badly.
Keeping The Peace
Here's one way this dad learned how to keep the peace with his three young kids.
You can bet there is a lot of screaming and fighting involved when they're in the backseat for long trips.
Mermaid Man... Is That You!?
As much as he loves his daughter, I don't think he was very happy to put on this outfit for her.
Sure, he did it for her, but what about his pride?
Games Are Still Important
There isn't much that can get between a dad and his love of video games, and that includes kids.
This man came up with a brilliant way to entertain both of those needs.
Making Sure He's Warm
Without a jacket nearby, this father had to come up with a way to keep his child warm.
You can say he handled that pretty well with this solution. What do you think?
Driving Around With The Daughter
The older you get, the more your joints start to hurt you. Judging by the way he's sitting, I know his knees are in pain.
It's all for his little girl. If she's happy, then he's going to be satisfied.
Get On For The Ride!
If you've ever been to the airport, you know how chaotic it can get in there, especially if you're running late.
It seems like this father might be in a hurry, but that didn't stop him from becoming a chauffeur.
"Told My Dad His Toast Could Only Be One Page"
It's his son's wedding, so what else would you expect. This is the boy he raised about to embark on a new life.
You can tell he was probably super emotional this day if that's his speech.
First Time Making A Cake
It isn't very easy getting creative in the kitchen. That goes for mom and dad.
This car cake isn't that bad. If he ends up having to make more, he'll eventually get better.
Dad Fail
Hey, at least his outfit is pretty cool. The others probably giggled at him all night long.
When you're younger, you usually don't make mistakes like this. Here's one perk of growing old as a dad.
Getting Your Son Off The Floor
I'm not sure if this kid asked to get picked up like this, or if this was the only way to get him up.
Either way, it's pretty hilarious. You'll find ways to get creative as a father when you're parenting.
Quality Time With Your Son
Clearly, that kid doesn't want to be at Home Depot with his father. He'd much rather look at his iPad.
That's okay, any time together is good enough for bonding with the kids.
The Male Ursula
Much like the Mermaid Man from earlier, this father had to become the king of cosplay with his little girl.
It's a great Ursula outfit! His daughter looks very happy.
Being A Dad Causes The Spins
Here's an actual photo showing how hectic fatherhood can get. The kids love it, but what about dad?
I'm sure he enjoys it as well, but not as much as them!
